“Flowing improvisations, accents in touch with the rhythmic concerns of the times, sensitivity to contemporary rock, roots diving less in the post-bop mainstream than in the questioning of the jazz at the turn of the 70s. ”
- Franck Bergerot, Jazz Magazine


“...delicate improvisations would suddenly explode into heavy prog-rock beats with ferocious drumming driving the band forward. [...]. Herer’s use of the Rhodes was particularly fresh and had been outstanding [...].”
- Peter Slavid, London Jazz News


OXYD is a five-member band coming from Paris, France, influenced by modern jazz musicians, as Jim Black, Steve Coleman, John Hollenbeck, Marc Ducret and bands like AlasNoAxis, Kneebody, Radiohead or Sonic Youth. The band plays their own compositions inspired by European and American jazz music, but with influences of rock, pop, free jazz and contemporary music.
The band is conducted by pianist and composer Alexandre Herer, playing the Fender Rhodes, electronics and several effects. Trumpet player Olivier Laisney and tenor sax player Julien Pontvianne make up a great front line, as well in leading melody and improvising. Oliver Degabriele on electric bass and Thibault Perriard on drums support OXYD by an high quality rhythm section.
Since his creation in 2006, OXYD has released 1 EP, 3 albums, played for over 150 concerts in many festivals and venues in Paris, France, Europe, United States and China. In 2013, they brought the 3rd album Plasticity to China for their first tour in this country.
In 2016, they released the new instrumental album Long Now (already available on iTunes China), along with which they’ve started a quite special journey called “Plugged In Nirvana”, bringing us to revisit the legendary rock band Nirvana in progressive Jazz.
